This, I believe, is the spot in Plainfield where Ed Gein's property was. I'm not a fan of serial killers (that's if he was one) or anything, but I have always been slightly fascinated with this guy's legacy to popular culture (see. Psycho, Leatherface and Buffalo Bill) and seeing as I was in Wisconsin (the state he lived in) I thought I would see if I could find the place.
My friend and I drove around for ages but couldn't find the place. So I asked in a gas station. The woman in there was really not very please with my request, apparently "The folk who own that property don't want anyone goin up there". So it looked like she wasn't going to tell me, so I told her I was from an English movie magazine taking pics for an article; so, she reluctantly told me it was over a bridge; not much to go on, but I think I found it. I knew the house had been burned down in the 50s and they had planted trees over the area. Now these trees look very deliberately planted; don't they.
Photographs of places with unsavoury histories are also hold a fascination for me. Especially as over the years they loose all trace of anything untoward. When you find out the history of a place it seems to take on a personality -it that is the right word, which I am sure it isn't.

I hope this is an abandoned houseboat in La Crosse, Wisconsin. Although it was just off the downtown area. Who knows?

Along the flat plains of SW Wisconsin arise sandstone buttes that were most likely islands in Glacial Lake Wisconsin during the Ice Age, 12,000 and more years ago. Due to some harder rock at upper levels on these buttes they did not erode to the level of the rest of the area. They are a somewhat unexpected and interesting sight to see whilst driving along Interstate highway 90 in the area.

A Madison, Wisconsin landmark that has been doing business at this Monroe Street location since 1942, Mallatt's Pharmacy (or is it Mallatt?) seems to have a cavalier attitude toward punctuation, judging from their signs. But they're all business when it comes to theatrical makeup and costumes. They're the place to go for all your Halloween needs. How did a pharmacy find itself in this unique position? Check out my blog Letter from Here. (Best viewed in Original size to see what's going on with Uncle Sam's metamorphosis.) Or, better yet, daylight.
The Wisconsin Dental Association and WDA Foundation marked the half-way point in its second annual Mission of Mercy by delivering smiles to 1,018 children and adults on Friday, June 25, 2010 at Sheboygan North High School in Sheboygan, Wis.
A ghost sign for what appears to be an insurance agent, seen in Racine, Wisconsin. Possibly the only ghost sign I've seen containing the word "tornado".
